Engaging with the past
Imagine you're at home, you start a role-playing game where you can enjoy views of the Nanjing Qinhuai Lantern Festival, completing set tasks along the Qinhua i River. This is one way for video games to enjoy the traditional Chinese culture without having to travel there.
Perfect World Games, an online gaming company, recently invited a group of heritage experts including Chen Haitao, a designer from the Dunhuang Academy; and Zhou Xianguang, an inheritor of Longquan sword intangible(非物质的) cultural heritage—to Beijing to discuss new ways to promote traditional Chinese culture.
This year, Zhou was invited to submit designs for swords in its online mobile game Jade Dynasty. They kept the features of swords that were used during the Tang Dynasty but absorbed fairy and knight-themed elements from the game. That enabled players to know another aspect of Chinese heritage. Zhou says, "Since games are welcomed by young people, we can make them familiar with traditional culture as they play. . "
The trend toward combining games with cultural heritage started decades ago. Traditional culture once served merely as a background to the gameplay, and failed to offer a de tailed experience. Now the company digs out details and divides them into small sections, and focuses on their unique cultural points, so players can gain a deeper experience.
Some overseas players also have a strong interest in Chinese culture, but may find it too difficult to understand. So the company tries to convey the culture in ways they are familiar with to help them better understand.
A. And that's not all.
B. These games are also available to players overseas.
C. However, these early attempts were described as "vague"(含糊的) .
D. Games featuring traditional culture attract more young players.
E. Several decades ago, the practice of sword-making nearly died out.
F. Besides, some figures seen in Dunhuang's wall paintings were also added to the mobile game.
G. It increases the number of channels available to spread knowledge about our cultural heritage.

Scenes of a comic character swelling up after eating peanuts in Western TV shows have long been puzzling for many Chinese viewers, as few people in China meet those who have a severe peanut allergy(过敏反应).
Their confusion can be explained by Chinese researchers in a new study that Chinese adults and children are more likely to be allergic to seafood, and less likely to be allergic to peanuts compared to people in the United States and Europe. "Animal-derived (动物源的) foods were the primary offending foods, especially shrimp, and skin symptoms were the most commonly reported unpleasant reactions," said the study. The difference means that cultural, dietary, industrialization and biological factors can play an important role in food allergy patterns, it added.
Chen Hongbing, a professor from the State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology at Nanchang University, who was involved in the study, said, "For instance, in a previous study on self-reported food allergies among children, seafood topped the list, followed by fish, eggs, fruits and milk." However, some research also puts wheat as one of the most common allergy triggers among the general population, eggs and milk are considered the most common allergens among infants and young babies. Chen said more research is needed to address these discrepancies(差异性) and to determine if various dietary habits across China result in varied food sensitivity.
Luo Xiaoqun, a doctor who was not involved in the studies at Fudan University's Huashan Hospital, said that the increasing rate of food allergies is a phenomenon observed worldwide, driven by changes in lifestyles, eating habits, as well as growing health awareness and diagnostic ability.
Reading allergen labeling on food packages is an easy way to protect consumers from potential allergy triggers. However, food allergen labeling in China is not obligated currently and labeling largely follows an international food regulations. "China has made improvements in devising food labeling standards in recent years, hopefully our findings can accelerate the process of making such labeling compulsory in the near future," Chen said.
(1)、 What's the purpose of writing paragraph 1?A、To introduce food people are commonly allergic to. B、To make a comparison between different allergies. C、To introduce a study about allergies. D、To describe typical allergy symptoms.(2)、 Which of the following doesn't affect food allergy patterns in the new study?A、eating habits. B、cultural factors C、diagnostic ability D、biological factors(3)、What does the underlined word "triggers" in paragraph 3 mean?A、results B、patterns C、reactions D、causes(4)、 What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A、China has popularized food labeling in recent years. B、The findings have speeded up the process of food labeling. C、Professor Chen expects a promising future of food labeling. D、China makes no progress in making food labeling. -

The world has changed greatly since Herman Fisher met Irving Price and Helen Schelle in 1930. The trio(三人组) founded Fisher-Price, maker of popular toy series such as Thomas &Friends, Power Wheels, and Little People. Companies like Fisher-Price are exploring how the world of toys and parenting will change with the development of technology. Fisher-Price recently cooperated with Continuum, a global innovation designer. Together, they created a short video called The Future of Parenting, along with a short essay explaining the thoughts behind the video.
One thought of the video explores how parenting will change when the teens of today raised with data-providing devices such as Fitbit and iPad begin raising kids of their own. Is this a generation that will desire data in all of their kids'toys? The answer may be "yes" and perhaps the product appearing in the video will appeal to them.
If you interpret the video as a clear vision of the future of parenting, you won't be blamed for fearing holograms(全息图) will take over your house as a mom or dad. The benefit of holograms in the video is their potential for giving traditional toys the ability to personalize responses, depending on the age and development of the child playing with the traditional toy.
Of course, you might ask yourself, "Do data-providing toys have an advantage over traditional toys in terms of their effects?" The answer may be negative. Lego, a traditional brick toy-maker, on all counts remains a successful company. And studies point out its toys'benefits to children's creativity. In addition, recent research demonstrates that toys containing data can potentially prevent language development, compared with traditional puzzles and bricks.
On the one hand, parents know that they should limit their kids'screen time to keep them healthy, and the American Academy of Pediatrics offers guidance on daily screen time. On the other hand, technology can be wonderfully engaging and can provide excellent educational opportunities for children. Nothing is perfect and we should embrace every aspect of a new thing.
(1)、 What are companies like Fisher-Price currently exploring?A、The impact of technological advances on toys and parenting. B、The way to be an outstanding global innovation designer. C、New ideas of making short videos of creative toys. D、Techniques used to produce popular toy series.(2)、 According to the author, teenagers raised with data-providing devices may ____.A、be fond of devoting themselves to improving technology B、be afraid of the negative impact of electronic toys C、pass their preference for such toys on to their kids D、show great creativity and imagination(3)、 What's Paragraph 4 mainly about?A、Advantages and disadvantages of modern technology. B、Comparisons of the effects of two kinds of toys. C、Suggestions on how to choose suitable toys. D、Advances in technology used to make toys.(4)、 What does the author want to show at the end of the text?A、Love me, love my dog. B、Actions speak louder than words. C、Everything is a two-edged sword. D、Hope for the best; prepare for the worst. -
4、阅读下列短文,从每题所给四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my hometown and I began devoting my pocket money to acquiring records. I swiftly developed an affection for Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, harboring dreams of performing that music myself. Despite the absence of a piano at home, there was one at my grandmother's care home, where I learned to play Beethoven by ear, with pigeons cooing and farmers working in the fields. It was truly magical.
Entering the Royal Academy of Arts at 16 marked the beginning of my artistic journey. In my 30s, I took another significant step in life-marriage. My wife worked at Elephants World, a reserve dedicated to the care of rescued domestic elephants. These elephants have worked for humans all their life and many are blind or disabled from being treated badly, so I wanted to make the effort to carry something heavy myself. For my 50th birthday, my wife successfully persuaded the manager to allow us to bring a piano into the reserve, bringing music to the elephants' lives.
Initially, when I started playing, it was hard to hear the piano above the sounds of nature and the elephants chewing grass. However, everything changed when a blind elephant ceased eating and tuned into my playing. It struck me that this elephant, trapped in a world of darkness, had a profound love for music. From that moment on, there was no longer any concern about disturbing their peace. We occasionally film these performances, and now, we proudly have nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers.
I continue to play for these elephants that run freely in the reserve, despite the constant potential danger. Surprisingly, it's the moody male elephants who show the most fascination with the music. I firmly believe it has a calming effect. These elephants' breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. I've even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing to Beethoven's tunes. With their exceptional hearing and the ability to sense vibrations(震动) through their feet, I am convinced that elephants grasp the language of human expression. This serves as a powerful illustration that music serves as a universal language, connecting us all.
(1)、What motivated the author's early affection for music?A、Exposure to Beethoven's music. B、Employment at Elephants World. C、Attendance at the Royal Academy of Arts. D、Piano teaching at his grandma's care home.(2)、 What did the author's 50th birthday celebration symbolize?A、Personal achievements in music. B、A combination of music and care. C、Successful fundraising for the reserve. D、Recognition for the author's artistic journey.(3)、What role did music play in the lives of the elephants in the reserve?A、Emotional recovery. B、Physical exercise. C、Financial support. D、Artistic expression.(4)、Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A、Save the Mistreated Elephants B、Connect the Elephants with Music C、Play the Piano for Rescued Elephants D、Make the Hearing of Elephants Sharp -

What a great year we had had! A new baby daughter, a job promotion(晋升)for my husband,and a new home were among what we had received. My husband and I were grateful for them. We wanted no gifts for Christmas, because our cups were running over. So my husband and I decided to teach them to learn to share.
After dinner,we talked about doing something special for someone else at Christmas. Our oldest son said,"Why don't we find a family who needs help and give them presents?"
All of us were excited about the idea. We didn't know exactly how we find our"Christmas family",but we did know we wanted to help. The next morning I made calls to friends who might know of someone in need.That evening at dinner I described the family I had found.The father was a repairman but lost his job two weeks before.He hadn't landed a new job yet. There were three children in the family.The wife gave birth to a new baby, who was the same age as ours. But unluckily,the baby had been taking many tests as doctors tried to determine why she wasn't developing properly. They had spent almost all their savings on the treatment,with little for daily necessities.They were in great trouble. Of course,they had little hope of having gifts for Christmas.
"Can we give them some of our clothes?" asked our daughter. We all agreed that her idea was good,and so the children ran to their bedrooms and began sorting out the clothes they had outgrown. But my husband and I knew that clothes were not enough.
